Question

use a compass and straightedge to draw a segment double the length of the given segment. your final answer should be exactly one blue segment which may or may not overlap the given segment. select a tool above. compass segment ray line undo

Explanation:

Step1: Copy the given segment

Use the compass to measure the length of the given segment. Place the compass's needle at one - end of the given segment and the pencil at the other end.

Step2: Construct a new segment

Draw a ray. Place the compass's needle at the starting - point of the ray. Without changing the compass's width (set to the length of the given segment in Step 1), draw an arc that intersects the ray. Then, starting from the intersection point, repeat the process (using the same compass width) to extend the segment on the ray.

Answer:

A segment with double the length of the given segment is constructed on the ray.
